<DIV>Over and above the math, why would a church want to appear to condone promiscuity? </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>One of the things that I feel strongly about is parents teaching children about not giving in to peer pressure. One of the weapons against peer pressure is self-esteem combined with good morals. How can a church claim to encourage morality from the pulpit and have someone standing at the door handing out condoms as people leave?</DIV>
